A table top bench grinder makes it extremely easy and quick if you have access to one. You can use a dremel with a cut off wheel and sanding drums etc but its a bit tedious.

Hey guys, I am building the 8x-elite and the front differential once it's in the box and trying to spin to see if it's smooth sometimes has a little friction. I guess is the diff box is not completely well finished, I think that it has some kind of contact...

New kit, tight tolerances. Should be fine after break in.

Run a few tanks through her, then check diff play, shim as necessary. This should be done often.

I was imaging that, but double check asking doesn't hurt. Thanks for the answer.

The more I peep at pics of both Dakota and Ryan's cars I feel like alot of the rear end setup is now based on the XT platform. Even Ryan's ebuggy radio tray seem to be that of the XT.

I haven't seen pics of the radio tray but the rear tower gives it away. Sometimes front too.
